This year, we took part in the #30DayMapChallenge for the second time. We got more of our team members involved in creating maps, though it meant pulling them away from their regular tasks ๐
You may have followed our posts on X and Instagram. Now, you can revisit our maps โ but this time, enjoy them in higher quality and explore all the details!
